I do woodworking on the side and I use a fair about of figured North
American hardwoods like Birdseye maple, curly maple and curly black cherry. In a woodworking forum I had the screename Curlycherry but when I came over here Curlycherry was taken so I added a 1 on the end and the rest is history. Here is my kitchen I made from a log of plain sawn cherry and curly cherry for the panels (single log). The flooring is birdseye maple.

A lot of Electricians are known as "Sparkys"
When I was an apprentice I was changing ballasts in an elevator. We couldn't shut them down to work. Some people got in the elevator and it started going up and a wire fell down and hit my neck then the wall and sparked. There was a hot little intern that kept calling me "Sparky" after that. 8370 was my apprentice number.
 
My name is John dustin but people have always called me JD , after Joe Dirt came out the Navy guys I was stationed with thought that was my name. So I just adopted it to Johndirt, 82 is the year I was born. Lame but it works.
 
Kabloonaq for Polar Bear

I worked for some years in the polar bear capital of the world.

When I transferred out, an ex-gf started to say I was a grizzled ol' bear. then a Polar Bear. She knew the inuk word for PB was nanuq, but cause I was a kabloona, I chose to use nanuk!

I've used it for years on numerous sites.
 
First letter of my name and Theo, the first name of my Dad, to honor his memory.

Best man I ever knew. If I am the kind of man that I should be, then the credit goes to him.

Sounds like you had a Cool Dad, my old man is kind of unpredictable, so I had to learn on my own, (still learning!) you definitely don't want to follow his example. I have a younger friend who looks to me for guidance, because his stepdad almost destroyed him, good kid too. Can't understand why anyone would do that.
My screen name was just a nickname my buddies gave me when I was a kid, and the fact I used to race KTM's (my wife too!):)
 
I got mine from always pushing the limits of engines!! Something sweet about a small block chevy turning 8 to 8500
 
Screen name

I got mine after I tried to put a Roots supercharger on one of my chippers......Nitrous Oxide is next for those knotty twigs....:dizzy:
 
I enjoy shooting the best brand of compound bow...bowtech. During my military time I was the guy that always pushed the limits of my platoon and later my company and was a firm believe in "never surrender". Got nicknamed by other commanders as the madman. "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way" was too long.
 
Used to be........

.......a Bedford truck aficionado. I had a 1961 ex- NZ Army Bedford RL 4x4 troop-transport that I used as my 4x4 for ages.

First name Greg, so I became known as Gregford (kind of rhymes with Bedford).
 
I just read it off of my license plate!

I used to drink a lot of Busch Light, but not so much anymore, except last night.:cheers: I also really want to live in Montana, but my wife doesn't think I need to live so close to my girlfriend.:monkey:
